What makes a phone clue useful?
A message gives you a statement, a sender and a time. It does not necessarily prove where the sender was or whether the statement was true. Start by separating those claims. Then look for another record that can check the part your theory depends on.
Somatry brings message threads together with interviews and logs. Flag evidence by pressing and holding, then use your flagged material when preparing the case report. The records remain available when you need to return to a detail.
Interactive games with a reason to reread
The interaction is the investigation: selecting evidence, connecting sources and submitting an explanation. The report asks for the killer, method, motive and moment. Feedback returns a count of correct answers, leaving you to decide which reasoning needs another look.
If you enjoy simulated phones, compare Somatry with ColdTrace or Stalkie using the linked pages. If a continuing missing-person story is the attraction, the An Elmwood Trail comparison explores that difference.
Start a detective game on your own phone
Somatry is available for iOS and Android. Case 1 is free and complete. The original fifty-case collection spans three cities, and the released Coldmere Stories DLC in version 1.1 opens the wider nine-city setting.
The people and records are invented. You never need to access a real person’s device, contact a suspect or research real victims to complete an investigation.
